Groves joins Sauerland ahead of Froch bout

Super-middleweight contender George Groves has signed for the Sauerland brothers Kalle and Nisse and will fight Carl Froch at Wembley Stadium on May 31.

England's world super-middleweight contender George Groves has signed a long-term deal to be managed by Germany-based promoters Sauerland ahead of his Wembley Stadium rematch with Carl Froch in 10 days.

The 26-year-old has signed for the Sauerland brothers Kalle and Nisse and will fight Froch, 36, for his WBA and IBF titles at Wembley Stadium on May 31 having suffered the first loss of his career to Froch last November.

"I am extremely pleased to have signed with Team Sauerland," London-born Groves said on Tuesday.

"I have boxed on their shows in the past and have known Kalle and Nisse for years.

"The shows they put on in Europe are phenomenal.

"This is definitely a step in the right direction for me as I look to build my name not only across Europe but all around the world.

"I feel that now I have the right team in place to help me achieve everything I need to in boxing."

Groves joins Team Sauerland's stable of champions which includes WBO super middleweight Arthur Abraham, WBO cruiserweight Marco Huck, British heavyweight star David Price and former five-time world champion Mikkel Kessler, who is one of only two men to have beaten Froch.
